RAHAB OF JERICHO

Here's a poem about Rahab:

Rahab was a prostitute, but she had a heart of gold
She could see beyond the walls of her city - Jericho, Jericho

She heard of that mighty nation, made mighty by their God
She heard it thru the grapevine; She knew He weren't no fraud

She rescued the spies from the king's fearful search
Her peoples' hearts were all melting for fear,
After hearing that the jew-God
parted the Red sea,
and destroyed Pharoah's army
and killed kings Og and Sihon

Jericho folk were gasping for air
gripping their chest
darting about, pulling out hair

Perhaps in their heart of hearts
They all knew Jericho was going down, down

But Rahab was the one
She had the opportunity
She could have gone either way
She could have remained blind
and stopped those jew guys
stopped those jew spies
She could have turned them in

But she knew,
She could see
And she declared!
"For Yahweh your God is God in heaven above
and on the earth below."
She became a jew right then and there!
Hallelu !
